Fencing and Landscaping Experts provide boundary fencing throughout Gordon, NSW 2072, in Ku-ring-gai Council's area on the Upper North Shore.

Boundary Fencing in Gordon 2072

We work on boundary fencing throughout Gordon 2072. The service is the dividing fence between you and your neighbour, which makes it as much a legal question as a construction one, and in this suburb one thing shapes it more than anything else. Gordon's mix of freestanding homes and strata townhouses means a lot of fencing here is shared-boundary work needing sign-off from an owners corporation as well as the neighbour.

A boundary fence has to sit on the actual boundary, not where the last fence happened to be. Where the line is unclear or the existing fence has crept, we say so before quoting rather than building in someone else's mistake. Upper North Shore boundaries are long, and a fence that is 40 metres of dead straight run shows every error. Setting out from a string line off confirmed corner pegs is what keeps it looking right. Most Gordon properties have good vehicle access, though long side runs past mature trees still mean a fair amount of hand-carrying.

The ground under Gordon is clay ridge soils near the highway grading into sandstone on the eastern slopes, and the suburb is built out with established homes on level to gently sloping blocks, with unit and townhouse stock near the station. Those two facts decide footing depth, material choice and how long the job takes, so we measure on site before we price anything in Ku-ring-gai Council's area.

Local Knowledge: Gordon 2072

We work across Gordon and the surrounding Upper North Shore suburbs, and the local conditions genuinely change the job. The Upper North Shore is Sydney's leafiest fencing environment. Large blocks, mature canopy and Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby's tree-protection controls mean post holes frequently land inside a tree protection zone, and heritage conservation areas set the tone for what a front fence is allowed to look like.

For boundary fencing specifically, the constraints that come up most often in Gordon are tree protection zones, heritage conservation area controls and sloping sandstone-over-shale blocks. Ku-ring-gai Council is the consent authority for Gordon, so where approval is needed that is the path we work through with you — and we identify that before quoting rather than halfway through the job.

Boundary Fencing Gordon FAQs

Who pays for a boundary fence in Gordon?

Under the NSW Dividing Fences Act 1991, owners on both sides of a boundary in Gordon normally contribute equally to a sufficient dividing fence. In practice that means a standard 1.8m Colorbond or timber paling fence. If one owner wants more than that, they generally fund the difference. We set our quotes out so they work as the basis of a Fencing Notice.

What is the standard boundary fence height in Gordon?

1.8 metres is the accepted standard for a side and rear dividing fence in Gordon and across Ku-ring-gai Council's area, and it is what most exempt development provisions are written around. Front boundaries are treated differently and are usually limited to a much lower height, particularly on a corner block or in a conservation area.

What if my neighbour won't agree or won't pay?

You can serve a Fencing Notice under the Act, which sets out the proposed work and the cost split and gives the adjoining owner 30 days to respond. If there is still no agreement the matter can go to the NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal. We give you a clear written Gordon quote to attach, which resolves most disputes without going that far.

How do you handle a boundary that isn't level?

Most Gordon boundaries have a manageable fall, which we take up by stepping the panels in short increments so the fence follows the ground without leaving gaps underneath. Where the fall is steeper we rake the panels or build a low retaining course beneath.

Can you build the fence if the old one is on the wrong line?

We will not knowingly rebuild an encroachment. If the existing Gordon fence looks like it sits off the true boundary, we flag it and recommend confirming the line with a registered surveyor first. It is a small cost next to rebuilding a fence twice or arguing about it later.

Which parts of Gordon do you cover for boundary fencing?

All of Gordon 2072, plus the surrounding streets in Pymble, Killara, East Killara and St Ives. Gordon is characterised by established homes on level to gently sloping blocks, with unit and townhouse stock near the station, and we schedule around what that means on the ground rather than booking a standard slot. We give you a firm start date with the quote rather than an open-ended window.
